Many areas of the country would call that a 3-by....

Around my neck of the woods...it would be a 6 point. But I'm in WT country...

Many folks call elk and mule deer...5x5's 6x6's...etc. Instead of total points...FWIW-

Along the northern tier of the country (the Dakotas, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Washington and I think Oregon), everything is counted one side at a time.

That includes whitetail, muleys, elk, even the jackalope in the bar, as long as it has antlers and not horns.

I have lived in eastern North Dakota, along the Minnesota border, and you will find a few Dakotans there who use the eastern count but not many. Drive across the river into Minnesota, however, and it is strictly eastern count, at least in my experience.
